RESULTS:

Infants receiving CL at birth and 32 weeks’ PCA gained weight faster than infants not receiving CL until 36 weeks’ PCA. There were no differences among the groups in length of hospitalization stay or number of ventilator days, but the power was low for these variables.

CONCLUSIONS:

These findings suggest that CL has significant weight gain benefits over ND, and there are no short-term advantages of ND over cycled light for health in preterm infants.

Bring Indoor Sunshine® Into Your Life!

Natural Sunshine is the blueprint for Indoor Sunshine®. According to research, its Full Color Spectrum Plus light includes wavelengths of color that the body requires for physical, mental and emotional health.

You can put Indoor Sunshine in homes, offices, schools & hospitals. Although we cannot predict how you will respond, these lights have been used to address specific concerns such as autism, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), ADD/ADHD, irritability and depression, seniors’ better visual clarity and alertness, and general lighting. Indoor Sunshine comes in energy saving spiral bulbs and fluorescent tubes.
